FWIII: Characteristics in Local Populations

General Overview

1. Create a scanner which can collect local population data outdoors and indoors

   • Indoor scanner work still ongoing
   • IRB project closed - will reopen at UNL this Spring

2. Create an algorithm to identify familiar class characteristics

   • New approach with synthetic data

3. Generate a local database of common footwear features

4. Use local database to characterize frequency of similar shoes in local population

Synthetic Pattern Generation

• Use SoleMate style labeling for examiner familiarity

• Generate data in multiple formats: maximum model flexibility
